Printable@Aisha - Who Is Jill Scott?, was a grower for me
took me almost a full year after purchase to get into the full thing... I LOVE IT more than Beautifully Human... it's a smokers album for me it was this one: 
which I actually never had the desire to listen to I had downloaded it a while back but never put the needle to the wrecka but hey, I never heard this one either: 
I guess if I sat down & listened I would get it... I was never a big Usher fan anyway because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

John Cale's had the odd moment, but he left the Velvets to do them  . Proto-punk whatever-they're-supposed-to-be's. The Kinks and the Who had more to do with (or are more to blame for  ) Punk's origins imo.What about Nico just kidding, and Lou Reed, don't you think Walk on the Wild side is like a great pop song?Well, after my anti-Lou diatribe, I will confess a slight fondness for 'Walk on the Wild Side' and 'Waiting For the Man'. | |

I would also have to add 'Sgt. Pepper' to this list as well. It was groundbreaking yes, but I don't think that it has had a real staying power as far as being able to continue holding up throughout the decades since its release.
Also to be included imo: 'Let It Bleed' - Has some absolute classics on the album that still retain just as much power today(Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler), but for me the title track and the AWFUL 'Country Honk' make this album a little bit overrated I think. Probably any album by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers could qualify also. And Jane's Addiction too. Also 'Voodoo' by D'Angelo. I think he got the impression that simply because he recorded some of this album at Electric Lady Studios that it would become an instant classic because of it having 'Jimi's vibe' all over it. In reality the album was simply D'angelo trying too hard to update various Prince and Marvin Gaye styles but it just ended up sounding like boring late '90s soul music with a couple of guest spot apperances by rappers on it of course.

[/b] Right, the album is a perennial best seller and you "don't think that it has had a real staying power"  test | |

 Voodoo is an instant classic. "Africa," "One Mo'gin," "The Root," "Spanish Joint," "Greatdayndamornin'/Booty,"...  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Voodoo is an instant classic. "Africa," "One Mo'gin," "The Root," "Spanish Joint," "Greatdayndamornin'/Booty,"... I'm between you two. I think it's one of the best soul records of the decade, but it has points where it lags. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I'm a huge Sesame Street fan, and even i have to say, this album is overrated and lacks consistancy throughout. It's an average album compared to "C is for cookie: cookies favorite song" | |

It's an average album compared to "C is for cookie: cookies favorite song" Give it another listen muse87, its a slow burner. IMO it merits classic status with tracks like Happy Tappin' with Elmo, Monster in the Mirror, and Bert's brilliant reading of Doin' the Pigeon. | |

FunkJam said: Off the Wall, sure it's got some really great material but only half of it is any good.
I would say that about "Thriller", but not "Off the Wall". "Thriller had some good songs but still others, lacked staying power. This is unlike, Off the wall. You can still rock this CD. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |
